Arterial Insufficiency
Arterial insufficiency occurs when the flow of blood through the arteries is reduced, so that the tissues do not receive enough oxygen, most frequently in the legs.
Common manifestations: Pain or cramps when walking that improve with rest, a sensation of cold, changes in skin color, and wounds that are slow to heal.
When is it important to get checked? If you notice these symptoms or have vascular risk factors, a timely evaluation helps understand the state of the circulation.
Which specialist treats it? The angiologist and the vascular surgeon focus on circulation; a cardiologist or an internist may also get involved. Discussing these signs with a professional allows the most appropriate follow-up for you to be guided.
